The National Executive Council (NEC) of the Labour Party in Nigeria has announced the dissolution of the caretaker committee led by Nenadi Usman. This decision reaffirms the party's confidence in its National Working Committee, headed by Mr. Julius Abure. The announcement was made via a press release from the Secretary of the NEC Forum, Alhaji Abdulrahim Chindo, following a virtual meeting held on March 17, 2026. This meeting included state chairmen and secretaries who were elected during a convention on December 6, 2025.

During the virtual meeting, the NEC adopted several resolutions, emphasizing the need for orderly proceedings within the party and the importance of addressing the upcoming primaries for the 2027 General Election. The council instructed National Chairman Julius Abure to ensure relevant notifications to the Independent National Electoral Commission (INEC) regarding the primaries in accordance with their timetable. The decision comes in light of internal calls for both virtual and physical meetings to solidify the party's unity ahead of the elections.

This dissolution marks a significant step for the Labour Party as it navigates its internal dynamics and prepares for a critical election cycle. The reaffirmation of Abure’s leadership indicates a push for stability and coherence within the party, which will be essential as they aim to present a united front in the 2027 General Election. The developments within the NEC reflect the ongoing struggles and negotiations within the party, which could impact its electoral strategies and overall political landscape in Nigeria going forward.
